I'M NOT DEAD.
Maybe just a little bit, though.

So school is even more hectic and exhausting this year. Sleep-depriving. But still, it's better to be busy than totally lazy, right?

Anyways, I sort of feel bad that I haven't put anything up for a while and just feel like I owe my watchers and fellow deviants an update to explain my silence and what might be coming up. For one thing, homework has been really slowing me down, on top of clubs. And Visual Arts 1 is not really what I held it to be. It's more of a practical, media-ish class. Our first project has been Interior Design and I think we'll be doing things like advertising and such later. And since I hate the marketing/advertising business, well... I don't think I'll ever really use it unless I end up doing a little freelance art on the side of my regular job.

But, the first homework assignment, or set of assignments, rather, is to write and illustrate a children's book. I will have to do 3 pages a week, so I think I may be posting that. It's about Pinky the seal pup. That's all I'm saying. XD

I'm also an illustrator for my school newspaper, Hawkeye. It's a bi-monthly newspaper (I think...?) so I might have an assignment every 2 months to post.

And also... VA3 is an AP course in my school now. O: And since I plan to continue in the VA track, I will need to prepare for it. I forgot if it's a requirement to get into the course or to prepare for the AP exam in the end of the course, but you need 24 portfolio pieces. .___. I obviously don't have that kind of art. 12 pieces are needed for the Concentration part of the exam and 12 for the Quality portion. Concentration has to be all related pieces, centered around something you like drawing/are passionate about, etc. And Quality is about anything and to show... well, quality. Maybe variety as well? Anyway, I'm not sure about everything, as you can see, but I only need to have it all done by senior year. Unless I'm mistaken and I need it for next year? Oh well, I don't have the time for that now anyway. XD But obviously my concentration will be of some kind of animals, don't know what yet...

So yeah. Storybook soon. Gotta get working on it since I now have 3 days to do 3 pages. XD
Peace.
